Re: [Review copies available] How I turned 20 mins a day into "5 FIGURE BUSINESS PER MONTH" Proof In

Hey Terry,

Damon here and right now I can't afford the $9.99 for the course I just really want to get started however and start to put in the time to create something for myself and my family. I have more time than money currently. But, i do have a couple of questions for you.

1- The first question i have for you is how long have you been using this particular method as it talked about you still use this to produce an income for yourself?

2- Also, outside of needing a domain and hosting is your course a video course or is it mainly just a pdf type course?

3- is it easy to make one of these websites as I'm not a techie type of person and have never made a website before myself?

I am just getting into affiliate marketing and making money on the internet in general. Your program really interests me and I see you are offering it for $10. How do I go about getting it for that price as I see it's $20 on the main page?

OK, full disclosure. Terry gave me a copy of this in exchange for a review.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this one. It has got its good points and its bad points, so I'll go through them in turn.

Presentation is brilliant. The product is a PDF, with plentiful screen shots to illustrate what needs to be done. The font is a comfortable size, and there is no attempt to bloat the page count by using huge font sizes or far too many unnecessary images.

The basic concept is reasonable enough. You produce a web site intended to inform users as to where they can obtain a certain service, and then drive traffic using “free” methods. The word “free” has to be in quotes because we all know there is no such thing as free traffic – you either pay for it in money or you pay for it in time. Here, you pay for it in time.

The service itself, the industry in which you will be operating, is a huge one. There is nothing shady or disreputable about it, it is not porn, illegal downloads, or anything else which might make you want to look elsewhere. You could definitely tell your grandmother about being involved in this industry without fearing that her walking stick would suddenly be whistling 'round your ears.

Everyone needs and uses this service, from the spotty teenager trying to eke a living from his mum's basement to huge corporations, and even universities and world governments. I really think Terry should reveal the niche in his sales letter, as it would probably get him more sales from people who are uncertain as to whether they would want to work within whatever the niche may be, and it may also reduce refunds from people who don't want to work within it. That, though, is his choice, so I'll try to avoid making it obvious in this review.

You have to build a website, and the instructions here are definitely lacking. Firstly, the book jumps from the point where you buy hosting for your site to where you build the site on your domain, without even covering the step where you actually buy the domain. I'd like to see instructions here as to buying domains from a separate registrar from your hosting (essential to avoid security risks), and also about how to obtain coupons.

One of the worst features of the report is that it tells you to use a one-click install gimmick to get the content management system onto your site. Don't do it. There are simple five-minute install instructions which come with the CMS, and following these will greatly reduce your vulnerability to hacking. At the very least make sure that you don't use 'admin' as a user name, because sites which have that user name are targeted by hackers incessantly.

There is writing to be done, and to be honest this will be tedious in the extreme. You need to produce a written review of each of the services which you are trying to sell as an affiliate. I think your only hope of producing reasonable content is to find other reviews on sites devoted to this industry, by people who have actually used the services, and then try to write a summary in your own words.

This is the biggest problem I have with the system, and why I won't be implementing it personally – you have to produce “reviews” of services which you will never have used, and about which you are in no position to even form an opinion. What is worse, you are asked to promote services purely because they pay the highest commissions. I have my own recommendations in this industry based on personal experience, and telling people to use vastly inferior services just so I can make a dishonest buck is not something which would fit my character or standard of ethics.

The traffic methods are pretty standard fare, although you are likely to find more potential venues for trying to drive traffic in this industry than most others. There is a lot of competition, but persistence is likely to pay off in terms of getting visitors to your site. I am not going to speculate on possible conversion rates because I simply don't know. No-one does, unless they have hard won experience.

The report concludes with auction listings of sites which purport to follow this system. The problem is that the seller information has been redacted, so they could be literally anyone's listings. I'm not saying that the author is posting fake screen shots, only that there is no way of determining this one way or the other. Unless “proof” really is proof, I simply ignore it. Therefore, I have to ignore these screen shots.

Verdict – it is not a bad course on affiliate marketing, even though ethical considerations would make me extremely reluctant to follow it. It does target a high-demand industry, although one with extreme competition. If you are prepared to make “recommendations” and write “reviews” of something of which you have no experience, you could probably persuade a few people to buy through your link. The traffic methods are solid enough, in fact I intend to use some of them to drive visitors to my own sites. If you can get a site profitable, you can certainly sell it, although as there are so many sites devoted to this industry I make no predictions as to your selling price.

As I said at the start, this is not an unreserved recommendation, neither is it a vociferous warning to avoid. It is somewhere in the middle. Hopefully, this review will give you enough to decide whether or not the good bits would be useful in helping you to achieve your commercial objectives.

Thank you just saved me $20. It was tempting because it looked from the other reviews that I could possibly learn a few things to implement, but overall sounds like I'll pass.

I am not saying that you must buy or I will shoot you but as for the review, it's much different scenario when a person is Just giving his "Review" and
the one who has intentions of buying and WORKING on it.

When I thanked Andrew for his review the other day, I did not do so in order to obtain a free copy of this WSO, however as seen in the post above, the OP, offered me one.

I was away from the computer most of Sunday, so received a copy earlier this evening.

Upon receiving it, I took a quick read & had been right in what it was about, based off of Andrew's post.

I was prepared to provide a review, however after seeing Andrew's amended post, I no longer can do so.

I do not have issues with Vendors requesting correction if something legitimately needed to be corrected or clarified (i.e. a method was revealed to be against TOS of the service & the Vendor updated to product to eliminate that and/or provided alternatives. For instance, a few years ago, I did a review for a CPA product. Myself & other reviewers failed to read the TOS for the recommended CPA company. Because of the influx of applications, one of the Affiliate Managers joined the forum specifically to advise that the method used in the WSO was against their TOS).

However, I have HUGE issues when Vendors are abusive or try to intimidate reviewers (whether they paid for product or not) into changing a legitimate review.

At this point, I can not reward abuse. If something changes to Andrew's satisfaction, then I'll provide my two cents.

Dude have you even seen the message I sent to Andrew? I request him to share the screenshot of that message here so that everyone would know what reality is. I don't understand how can people be so hard on someone..

May be it's because they know that they can manipulate new buyers by saying whatever they want. "Abuse" is far away from what I "REQUESTED" Andrew to do, If you ask him to share the screenshot of my message & If he doesn't come up with another story that I tried to kill him on the street. lolx

You would see that there is nothing wrong.. Instead few of the words from the message is

It's my years of hard work, i am trying to do the right thing here, etc..

So that's really a far fetched amendment. Anyhow it's all up to people what they want to believe, sometimes they believe in lies and ignore the truth but you can't change the facts.
